The German automobile club ADAC warns that many motorhomes do not meet safety standards and may be unsafe for holidays. The organization notes that a significant portion of these vehicles on German roads poses a potential threat.

With the start of the summer season, ADAC offers motorhome owners free driving training and vehicle weight checks. These measures aim to improve travel safety and reduce road risks.
